Surgery this morning! Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers.

Hi Ladies! I have enjoyed following each of your stories and viewing your amazing post-surgery results. I hope my journey inspires future BBL patients to share the ups and downs of their journey just as your stories have inspired me to do.

Like the majority of woman opting for this surgery, I too am a mother. After the birth of my first child at age 25 my body easily bounced back to its pre pregnancy status (albeit with a few more stretch marks and sagging skin around the navel and lower abdomen). However, after my second pregnancy and the birth of my daughter at age 30 my body never returned to it's previous glory.

After two years of working out several days each week and adhering to a healthy diet and lifestyle, I could not seem to get rid of my boxy figure, post pregnancy pooch, and flattened bottom. After looking in the mirror after a workout one morning I decided it was time to take matters into my own hands and enlisted the help of a plastic surgeon.

I was initially interested in liposuction as a means to prepare my body for a tummy tuck I am planning on having this winter. It wasn't until my consultation with Dr. Velilla and his recommendation for a fat transfer to the buttocks that I even heard of a Brazilian Butt Lift and the wonderful results it produces.

I am extremely nervous about my upcoming surgery, but am thrilled to be joining the BBL sisterhood! I look forward to sharing more of my story with you over the upcoming weeks.

(I will be posting my before pictures and wish pics this evening)
